Newly-released footage from outside of Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell has blown a huge hole in Attorney General Pam Bondi's explanation of a missing minute in previously released video.

The surveillance footage from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on the night of August 9, 2019 had originally been released by the Justice Department in July.

But questions soon emerged as eagle-eyed viewers noticed the 11-hour video mysteriously jumped forward one minute just before midnight. It was soon revealed that the clip was spliced together from at least two separate video segments using Adobe Premiere Pro.

The 'missing minute' was blamed on the Bureau of Prison's surveillance system, with Bondi claiming that 'every night they redo that video... every night should have the same minute missing.'

Yet the House of Representatives Oversight Committee has now included the minute in two hours of additional footage it released on Tuesday amid a probe into potential ethics violations among elected officials.
